Original subtitles

the Alien franchise has made an

indelible mark on film history and

future but with prequels and sequels

expanding the original story over a span

of several decades it can be hard to

entangle what's really going on here

what's the alien movie saga really about

let's explore the alien movie story

begins when a proto human on earth

drinks a deadly poison that kills him

and dissolves his body into strands of

human DNA which since then dosed into

the water supply several million years

later dr. Elizabeth sure believed she

has found a map and an invitation to the

planet where these proto humans

originated she calls them engineers and

she wrongly assumes they want to meet

their children sure and the scientific

crew are hired by the Weyland

corporation to find the engineers on

planet LV two to three and after a great

deal of trouble they arrive but the

engineers are all dead their spacecraft

is filled with jars of toxic black goo

corresponding to egg-like sacs a begin

to open when signs of life appear yes

dr. Shaw finds her engineers a lifelong

passion bordering on obsession but what

she didn't expect to find was that the

engineers had set a course to Earth with

the intention of wiping out the human

race they had created the engineers

never have their chance as they

themselves are wiped out by an ever

evolving neo morph the predecessor to

the xenomorph scene later in the series

megalomaniacal Android Dave decides to

take up the engineers mantle and infects

the human crew big things have small

beginnings after chaos destruction and

an encounter with the revived engineer

who proves his hostility toward humans

David and dr. Shaw escape to the

engineers home show us new obsession is

understanding what the engineers plan to

kill all the humans was greed one of the

human foibles and led the engineers to

one to eliminate us it's Pizza Whelan's

greedy obsession for immortality that

drives him to create the Android David

who eventually surpasses his maker and

winds up creating a xenomorph as we know

it that the engineers know will come to

suspect that human behavior would be the

universe's eventual destruction all

signs point to yes dr. Shaw never

actually makes it to the engineer's home

planet which she and David have been

calling paradise instead David kills her

and drops a black goo on the thriving

planet he cultivates Animorph eggs

sends out a welcoming signal to try and

attract new life-forms to what is now

his planet the Covenant has a colonizer

craft set out for one of the few

remaining known habitable planets in the

universe our guys six along with an

entire ecosystem on board the covering

crew is awakened from hypersleep years

early and on a hunch they divert from

their course to check out the signal

coming from the unnamed planet a human

being out there where there can't be any

humans a hidden planet that turns up out

of nowhere and just happens to be

perfect for us it's too good to be true

so much of the aliens story is based on

humans terraforming faraway planets

because the earth was either becoming or

already was uninhabitable thanks to

climate change or more the privileged

few humans who could escape a planet did

and with apparent gusto it didn't seem

to bother them that they will spend

decades of their lives in hypersleep to

get to these planets and star rebuilding

without these humans looking for new

places to colonize the xenomorph would

never have found this perfect host to

propagate his own species with a little

help from david david has been

engineering a new form of the xenomorph

a perfect organism that he can finally

test on human subjects with the crew on

board the Covenant is walter the newest

model Android whose sensitise kantor

parts is up to no good

when David finds out covenant has an

entire colony of hundreds of humans is a

battle to stop him before he

commandeered the ship for his own

purposes when he does we start to

realize what the engineers wanted to

destroy their human creation like their

ancestors humans also decided to play

God and created synthetic life in their

own image David's god complex mirrors

his Creator Wayland's and now david has

created a monster in the alien vision of

the future Android technology mirrors

human emotional developments David and

Walter are different models of clone

androids and Prometheus and covenant

designed by Peter Weyland for different

means to different ends david was a

special creation made to match Whelan's

great intelligence and one day surpasses

he is the closest thing to a son I will

ever have unfortunately he's he's not

human he will never die

Walter was created to be a faithful

companion to its human counterparts a

protector and source of support as Alien

begins it's been 16 years since we left

David in the spaceship covenant a

salvaging team on the ship Nostromo

answers a distress call on planet lv-426

even though they aren't equipped for a

rescue mission a Haier second too late

and the Ripley figures out the distress

call is actually a warning but one of

her crew Cain has already been infected

by a xenomorph facehugger breaking

quarantine protocols Cain is allowed

back on board where the alien hatches

and rigs bloody havoc Ashe a crew member

who's secretly an Android receives a

communique from people at the company

who wants him to bring the creature back

alive

no matter the human cost here the

Android Ashe is nowhere near as

sophisticated as either David or Walter

presumably because these toys ended up

being dangerously advanced but Ashe was

also a danger to humans especially once

he got his marching orders to bring the

xenomorph back alive disobeying orders

ripley under crew hun the monster and

eventually kill it as one of the most

memorable survivors put to screen Ripley

strikes a perfect balance between

strength and vulnerability as well as

professionalism and competence even

though she is met with disbelief when

she first discusses a reality of the

xenomorph she refuses to be gaslighted

Ripley and the cat Jones are the only

survivors who end this portion of the

alien saga tucked safely in hypersleep

waiting to be found by another ship

interestingly Jones was an excellent

first alert system since he tried to

warn multiple people about the presence

of the alien on board the Nostromo and

like Ripley nobody listened to him at

first but Jones would go on to survive

the series longer than any other human

character outside of our well-known

heroine you think that when one of the

deadliest and most virulent creatures to

ever exist surfaces the logical thing to

do would be to exterminate it especially

if it has the power to destroy every

planet to touch us but because of

corporate greed opportunistic humans

attempt to capitalize financially off

the creature at the expense of other

humans with less powerful positions why

didn't you warn them Burke the arrogance

of man we see throughout this series is

a scathing indictment of an obsession

with violence and killing there are a

few women in much of the alien saga but

it's the women who ultimately fight

against these deadly obsessions at the

start of aliens Ripley has drifted in

hypersleep for 57 years before she's

awakened and ends up on the military

vessel Sulaco unfortunately the Sulaco

is under instruction to return to lv-426

where Hadleys hope a human colony has

suddenly stopped responding to all

communication ripley is in severe

post-traumatic stress which turns into

grief when she finds out her daughter

died on earth or she was in hypersleep

were still her claims about the alien

monster with acid for blood on taken

seriously enough to stop the mission

because those things gets down here then

that will be all do you think it's so

important you could just kiss all that

goodbye on lv-426

the Sulaco crew and Ripley searched a

seemingly abandoned colony and find a

new xenomorph nest the eggs have already

hatched and used the entire colony as

incubators with the exception of one

survivor a young girl named news news is

a same age Ripley's daughter was when

she first left Earth

so Ripley is immediately protective of

her once the Salar Coast military crew

realizes he no more threats is as

horrific as Ripley insisted they tried

to escape but as an alien once again

corporates and military greed leads to

sabotage this time from Burke who's

determined to preserve a xenomorph

specimen he and the creature are both

defeated and Ripley survives joined by

newts Jones the cat's corporal Hicks and

the torso of Android Bishop who proves

to be a portrait of empathy one in which

we can see shades of earlier Walter the

reveal that ripley's daughter has died

becomes Keitha character it explains why

she's so protective of the women in

their orbits going forward especially

young girls even by the time she's

hybrid Ripley in resurrection she has a

fierce maternal side showed in the way

she shields her Android call as well as

a continued deep distress of the company

man when hybrid Ripley has an alien baby

who imprints on her she's horrified and

disgusted by the monster but at the same

time feels that connection and weeps

openly when she has to kill it surely

after Ripley enters hypersleep in the

Sulaco a fire breaks out killing

everyone else on board and shooting her

pod into space it lands on penal colony

fiorina 161 but a Sulaco shuttle also

crashes but Ripley is in the sole

survivor a xenomorph had also made it

and that impregnated her before ejecting

her onto Fiorina 161 the penal colony

has essentially been abandoned by the

people who created it

the weyland-yutani corporation until

they find out that a live xenomorph on

board and the Ripley is carrying an

alien fetus in her chest because it is a

present planet run by convicts there are

no weapons to fight the monster other

than a steel forged that hasn't been

used in decades Ripley and the prisoners

still finally managed to kill the Lucy

no morph again a huge human cost

when weyland-yutani emissaries arrive

they're headed by Michael Bishop the

human template for the Android Bishop

but Ripley knows better than to trust

company member now and she throws

herself into a pit of molten steel so

nobody can try to weaponize alien

monster within her Ripley's already

sacrificed so much in fighting this

creature he or she gives up the last

thing she has left because humans can't

seem to leave well enough alone when it

comes to universe's troying acid blooded

creatures Alien Resurrection continues a

story 200 years later when the United

systems military is still trying to

recreate a functioning xenomorph aboard

the USS Auriga using Ripley's melded

human and alien DNA were covered from

fiorina 161 new crops of military

Sciences tinker with her code to clone

the xenomorph they've engineered a

hybrid version of Ripley who has green

nails acid blood and vague memories from

the original Ripley who died centuries

before the scientists have also finally

created a working xenomorph but like

Ripley it's not the same creature it

once was it swelled smarter and

understands English so we're a fast

learner a salvage team from the ship

Betty boss here we go with human cargo

that will be used to create more

monsters for military mice a new Android

call is on her own mission to kill the

hybrid Ripley before she can give the

military the Queen that was just stating

in a chest she fails her mission but

Cole's role here is also to show how

Android progression in the series has

reached near human status with a machine

who's more human than inhuman Ripley

attempts to kill the Queen before she

gives birth but is also too late however

the Queen doesn't give birth to eggs as

a past Queen's half

said it gives birth to a fully formed

alien with many of Ripley's features a

huge baby alien kills the Queen thanking

Ripley is as actual mother and Ripley is

forced to kill her baby while the Auriga

crashes into Earth

Ripley finally makes it back to our home

planet as sort of a mystery injury or

myself

long before the alien prequels introduce

an ear morph the creature evolved over

the course of each original film both in

physicality and intelligence while this

evolution is confusing at first by alien

covenant we learned David as the father

of the xenomorph as we know it from

alien and beyond the black ooze

cultivated by the engineers with a

biological weapon with the ability to

mutate as host hence why we seized

several different versions of the

monster over the course of Prometheus

and alien covenant the xenomorph is a

perfect killing machine and one of the

sad lessons never learned by humans was

to leave the thing alone it cannot be

tamed it can only be killed and even

that proves an almost impossible feat

for hundreds of years even though hybrid

Ripley appears to kill the last of the

xenomorph who knows whether they have

persisted on another planet out in the

universe waiting for a meets out to
